AAA rates are usually the best, but not always. Try the US Air Hertz CDP #157348 at DFW. Beat my AAA rate for an upcoming (March) rental. Also, never be satisfied that the rate you booked, even using the AAA CDP, won't go lower. I've learned to repeatedly check my rate right up until the day of the rental. Back in September, I rented from Hertz in Charleston, WV. I had booked using my AAA rate many months prior. Checked for lower rates almost every week since the original booking and the morning I was due to arrive in Charleston, my AAA rate dropped $3/day. Same CDP code, same car type, same pickup/dropoff times, just a lower rate.

Entertainment book has a ton of CDP's. Entertainment considers the coupons in the book "paperless coupons." Meaning you do NOT have to show them upon rental.
Moreover, the CDP's are readily available on their site w/o membership (although as a entertainment member this is odd, but the dinner deals are worth the fees for the book). Plus, these CDP's are combinable with other corporate account offers. ^

And I am in favor of public CDP 'awareness' for these numbers similar to the Marriot / Avis lists.

All of the Hertz coupons in my books for both '04 and '05 have PC #1xxxxx. Therefore, you must present the coupon. I don't know if you can gain much benefit by using the Entertainment CDP and a PC #9xxxxxx from the Hertz.com site. Most times, you have to pair up the PC with a valid CDP.
I've never found ENT useful for Hertz. I have found it useful for Alamo and National - ENT free weekend days when nothing else is working well at all - but I only go there if Hertz.com is really not playing nice with the rates.

Questions about AAA CDP
I am a AAA Mid-Atlantic member. I can't find the CDP on the website. It allows me to reserve a car from the AAA site. I'd like to have the option to book it elsewhere, though. I don't want to steal a code. I just want the benefit I paid for without having to book a car through a third party site.
1. Does anyone know my correct CDP or where to find it on the site?
2. If I use a AAA code from a different region, is that good enough?

I used to invert the CDPs for WV (206) with WA (260) all the time. Always wondered why my CDP shows "AAA of West Virginia". The discount for both is 10%.
I have never been asked to show my AAA ID nor have I ever needed to use my AAA number (like you must now do with Hilton), so I don't think Hertz cares if you are an actual member or not.

As high as 49% once on a fullsize rental in LAS. Was a high weekend rate, so it was pretty much a wash.

The CDP for Qantas Frequent Flyers is 297302 - it generally gives good rates within Australia anyway (I haven't used it elsewhere) - tends to be lower than the Entertainment CDP of 1441781 anyway.

A particularly [b]good[/b] free weekend day code
I know it's a PC - not a CDP - but it might be useful to some: 959976. It's a Free Weekend Day, Compact through Premium, minimum two-day (^) rental. It works with my AAA CDP and it works with the standard 5% off airline CDP's that Hertz lists on its website. Valid on pickups through 5/15/05. I received it in an email from Hertz about a month ago.

Any idea what this is - don't want to use it if not valid for me - I am #1 Gold, but don't remember seeing this.
Also assume does not require a physical coupon....

This came out in the 5* email newsletter. If you're not 5*/PC and the website lets you book it, more than likely no one will question it.
Any PC that starts with "9" is an internet PC with no coupon required. However, it's not a bad idea to print out the page and have it with you when you return the vehicle.

Good point on printing things out. I typically don't have this problem at Hertz, but it's a good habit to be in anyway. Never know when it'll help you out...
